Yesterday morning, the analysts at Box Office Mojo predicted that You’re Next would come in at #1 this weekend, with The Butler, We’re The Millers, The World’s End and The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones rounding out the top five in that order.As it turns out, it looks like last week’s #1, The Butler, is still going strong and may hold onto the #1 position with around a $15 million haul. The real surprise, at least on Friday, is what happened with the rest of the list.We’re the Millers took the #2 spot on Friday, and is currently on pace to make $12.7 million, according to Deadline, while You’re Next came in fifth last night and looks like it’s on pace to make a little more than half of that–just $7.8 million. Also, given the tendency of children’s films to do better on Saturday and Sunday than they did on Friday, they expect last night’s #6 movie–Disney’s Planes–to leapfrog both You’re Next and The World’s End this weekend, knocking You’re Next out of the top five entirely.The Mortal Instruments is expected to make around $9 million for a total of $13.9 million since its Wednesday opening–that’s less than the $15 million Sony had projected for their latest young adult adaptation but more than it was expected to make going into the weekend.
